Question

Write down the myths and facts about substance abuse.

Answer 1

A common myth is that trying drugs once is harmless; in fact, experimentation can lead to repeated use and dependence. Drugs do not improve creativity or concentration: they can impair clear thinking and normal body and brain functions. Willpower alone may not be enough to overcome addiction; family support and professional treatment may also be needed. Alcohol does not solve problems and can worsen them. Inhalants are not harmless: they can damage organs and may cause fires or burns.
